Car Forum / Volvo Cars / October 2006'85 740 GLE steering rack & where's Jamie?
Just started leaking from driver's side end. I am thinking FCP Groton or other rebuilt rather than DIY... thoughts? What's the job like? tia jimB -------------------------------------------- JimB -------------------------------------------- my SPAM defense: Replace all the X's in email address with M > Just started leaking from driver's side end. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > What's the job like? It's really easy, though the tie rods can be stubborn. Remove the metal skid plate from the crossmember, remove the hoses, the tie rods, and there's four bolts that hold the rack in. >> Just started leaking from driver's side end. >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > skid plate from the crossmember, remove the hoses, the tie rods, and > there's four bolts that hold the rack in. The tie rods are fairly easy on a ZF rack, where the tie rods are secured by dog washers. On the cam-gear style the tie rods are staked and can be a challenge to change. (I have to replace one on my cam-gear rack soon.) Mike >It's really easy, though the tie rods can be stubborn.

Should I just buy the rebuilt instead?

The official count is 343, but there was also a volunteer who lost his life aiding in the initial rescue efforts. And I will never forget them as long as I live, nor should any American. |
